I love summer and I love summer foods. I think we tend to live on BBQ meals, cold ones and tons of frozen pops. Since we seem to inhale every frozen pop around in a matter of a day, I started to make these super easy and delicious Frozen Berries and Vanilla Yogurt Pops. Making these frozen pops is really too easy. The kids will enjoy making them and creating so many different flavours. I used strawberries and blueberries (fresh) because they are our …
Getting the Kids In the Kitchen + Our Snack Recipe
Beyond recipes, let's talk about kids, food, and kids and food. And because I can't help myself, I've included a fun recipe, too. Do you allow your kids in the kitchen?

What I love most about this recipe is that it uses more than just one type of apple. With so many delicious apples to choose from this time …
Dinner On The Go: When the Dining Room is a Minivan
With four kids under 13, I try to keep the extracurricular activities to one or two per child at any given time. But when you multiply that by the number of kids in my family, it still means we are out during dinner time multiple times a week. On these days, dinner is served in our family's dining room #2, also known as the back seat of the van. Dinner on the go is a regular occurrence for many families, and short of hitting the drive-thru window three nights of seven, busy families need more …
